Some Grimdark for oslecamo. I haven't looked at them yet, but Stripe Pattern at the very least is a promising name where darkness is concerned.

I prefer to call it "non-censored" edition.

After all, the "good" ending of Imperishable Night with Reimu/Yukari confirms letter by letter that youkai kill humans, and humans exterminate youkai to survive, and that's the natural law of Gengyoko. :smirk

Remilia/Sakuya "good" ending has her planning to collect the blood of thousands of humans to fuel a rocket to the moon. :p

Blame Zun, not us. He was the one who turned Reimu from an innocent young shrine maiden to some godlike armprit-flesh-exposing priestess that mercillesly exterminates youkais and then plunders their riches to pay for sweets.

You can't deny that the "How do I fly?" Reimu from the first game it's quite diferent from "Give me money or I'll exterminate you" Reimu from UFO.

UFO:
Marisa - Loot! or "What is that shiny"
Reimu - Loot! or "Homing Anti Youkai Warhead". Shes actually nicer to youkai as the latter.
Sanae - Following either Kanako or Suwako's lead.

As for Flan, it occured to me that her power is very simple. She can move something's hitbox to her hand and then attack it. She can see hitboxes!

No, I "blame" the fans. I highly doubt ZUN intended any of the fan theories when he made the games - be it 'Grimsokyo', sweet WAFFy Yuri, dramas, or whatever - else he'd have put more effort into the plot. The way I see it, the man just likes to design characters, bullet patterns, and bullet hell games. What is done with the characters is the sole responsibility of the one who uses them.

You may notice that I put "blame" under quotation marks. I don't necessarily see Grimdark Touhou as a bad thing, and indeed I enjoy it as much as you do. I do not, however, acknowledge it as canon, be it "canon as written" or "canon as intended". It's a neat houserule when used well.

But we've had this argument how many times before? Honestly, I'm a bit tired of it.

Well, ZUN didn't intend to make video games in the first place (at least according to TV Tropes).

Edit: Prime, thank you for the first one!

This Reincarnation remix sounds oddly familiar, but I can't quite place it. Phantom Minds maybe?

Here's an interesting Sakuya vid from the same user. ("Scarlet Knives")

You know, it really doesn't matter what you see or how much effort Zun put into the plot. Touhou is a gaming series with a written story, and just because you don't like said plot it doesn't mean it will magically change.

But we've had this argument how many times before? Honestly, I'm a bit tired of it.

Then simply don't bring up your insinuations that the fan shippings are the official version and the Game Narrator itself isn't cannon.

Did I? I recommended some doujins based on what I know you like. "Grimdark" is merely a description of the genre - you're the one who explicitly claims it to be canon. I do not claim any fan shippings to be canon, nor have I ever done so. If you don't like me referring to the genre as Grimdark, then suggest something else I should call it. I won't call it the "non-censored" version of canon because it's not.
